Hobbies Of The Future

Yarn-Bombing

Sure, knitting circles have been around for ages, but artist Magda Sayeg has taken the idea a few steps further with her “guerilla knitting” crew. They band together to knit clothing or outerwear for inanimate objects, such as statues. The three knitters on the team have partly made their hobby their profession; they’ve been hired by several cities–including Paris and New York–to legally “tag” public buildings and fixtures, much like a graffiti artist would. Their work has inspired artists and knitters worldwide.
